		<description><![CDATA[
死：學道之人，念念不忘此字，則道業自成。
生：若生西方，庶可與佛光壽同一無量無邊矣！
參閱《印光大師全集‧冊五》
《淨宗祖師印光大師》 - 在印光大師的思想中有很濃厚的厭離娑婆、欣求極樂的淨土理念。嘗喻言：願離娑婆，如囚徒之欲出車獄，絕無繫戀之心；願生西方，如過客之思歸故鄉，豈有因循之念。大師於自房內書一死字作為座右銘並注題記曰：學道之人，念念不忘此字，則道業自成矣！時時以無常迅速，生死事大為念，可見其求生淨土之深心，確實非同常人。
印光大師說：「無奇特奧妙法則，但將一個死字，貼到額顱上，挂到眉毛上。」參閱《印光大師全集‧冊一》
古德說：「人心不死，道心不生；心還不死，焉得一心？」
印公閉關處佛堂供奉著西方三聖，二只書櫥中存放著印公生前閱讀過的部分經書。一張方桌正面墻上掛著一幅印公親書（複製品）「死」字條幅，細看注釋，「死，學道之人念念不忘此字，則道業自成」，印公將世人最忌諱的「死」字置之當頭，可謂驚世駭俗，然而對早已悟徹生死的大師來說，它恰恰揭示出人生的迷茫，亟需棒喝，時時警愓，只有了徹生死，才能獲大自在，聯想到大師皈依弟子十萬，且其中不乏政要巨賈，而印公生前一向生活簡樸清貧，直至弟子檢索遺物時僅三枚郵票而已的情景，一種偉大人格使他贏得當時及後人的崇敬也就不奇怪了。出於對印光大師的無限崇敬，我們邀請弘法法師一起在印公關房前合影留念。參觀完佛博館，透過一件件法器、法物、佛教文物；一幅幅珍貴的照片，一本本佛典經藏，它們猶如一幅歷史長卷，折射出吳中歷代高僧大德為弘揚佛法鍥而不捨的堅勒跋涉。
虛雲和尚開示錄 - 師示眾：痛論生死事大，無常迅速，一失人身，萬劫難復，此身不向今生度，更向何生度此身之旨。言之痛切，聞者悚然。
「是日已過，命亦隨減，如少魚水，斯有何樂？大眾，
當勤精進，如救頭然，但念無常，慎勿放逸！」

		<description><![CDATA[說因果報應
蓋現在世界之劫運‧吾人所受各種災難‧皆由過去多作惡業‧以致現在感受苦果。故知此種惡果‧即是過去惡因之所造成。欲免苦果‧須去苦因。過去已種之苦因‧念佛懺悔‧乃能消除。現在若不再種苦因‧將來即可免受苦果。何謂苦因‧貪瞋癡三毒是。何謂善因‧濟人利物是。若人人能明此因果之理‧則諸惡莫作‧眾善奉行‧災禍自無從起矣。
惟以今人不明因果之理‧故多私欲填胸‧無惡不作‧只知有己‧不知有人。詎知利人即是利己‧害人甚于害己。故我平素常言‧因果者‧聖人治天下‧如來度眾生之大本。捨因果而欲談治國平天下‧何異緣木求魚‧未見其能有得者也。佛言‧「欲知前世因‧今生受者是‧欲知來世果‧今生作者是。」如今生所作所為皆是惡事‧來世安能免受惡果。若今生所作所為皆是善事‧來世何患不得善果。易曰‧積善之家‧必有餘慶‧積不善之家‧必有餘殃。書曰‧作善‧降之百祥‧作不善‧降之百殃。其理與我佛所講之因果正同。所謂餘者‧乃是正報之餘‧並非正報。本人來生後世所享受者‧乃為其本慶本殃。餘報則在其子孫‧餘慶餘殃‧皆其先代所積‧而流被者也。
世人不知因果‧以為人死後即皆了脫‧無所謂再有善惡果報‧此為最誤天下後世之邪見。需知人死之後‧神識並不隨滅。若人能知神識不滅‧則必樂于為善‧不敢為惡。若以為一死即了‧則可且快目前‧任意縱欲‧無惡不作‧無作不惡。此種極惡大逆之作為‧皆為斷滅邪見所致之結果。果能盡人諸惡莫作‧眾善奉行‧則自然天下太平‧人民安樂。然此尚非究竟法‧如何乃為究竟法‧是即念佛求生西方‧了生脫死。並需閑邪存誠‧敦倫盡分。則不但國運可轉‧災難亦可消。
說念佛吃素為護國息災根本
此次法會之目的‧為護國息災‧但如何方能達此目的。余以為根本方法‧在于念佛。蓋殺劫及一切災難‧皆為眾生惡業之所感召。若盡人能念佛‧則此業即可轉移。如能有少數人念佛‧亦可減輕。念佛法門‧雖為求生淨土‧了脫生死而設‧但其消除業障之力‧實亦極其鉅大。而真正念佛之人‧必先要閑邪存誠‧敦倫盡分‧諸惡莫作‧眾善奉行。尤需明白因果‧自行化他。今日之非聖無親‧賊仁害義等等邪說‧皆是宋儒破斥因果輪迴‧以致生此惡果。如人人能明白因果之理‧即無人敢唱此等謬說矣。蓋世間一成不變之好人少‧一成不變之壞人亦少‧大多皆是可上可下‧可好可壞之人‧所以教化最為緊要。孔子曰‧惟上智與下愚不移。只要加以教化‧ 即無不可以使之改惡歸善。放下屠刀‧立地成佛‧惟在人之信念而力行耳。今日中國社會之所以如此紊亂‧即因無教化之故。但教化需從幼小時起‧所謂教婦初來‧ 教子嬰孩‧若小時不教‧大即難以為力。何則‧習性已成‧無法使之改易也。故念佛之人‧需注意教育其子女‧使為好人‧存好心‧說好話‧做好事。果能盡人如此‧則災難自消‧國家亦可以長保治平矣。
凡學佛之人‧有一必須注意之事‧即切戒食葷‧因食葷能增殺機。人與一切動物‧同生天地之間‧心性原是相等‧但以惡業因緣‧致形體大相殊異。若今世汝吃牠‧ 來世牠又吃汝‧怨怨相報‧將世世殺機無有已時。果能人人茹素‧即可培養其慈悲心‧而免殺機。否則縱能念佛‧而仍圖口腹之樂‧大食葷腥‧亦能得學佛之利益幾何哉。

		<description><![CDATA[印光大師普勸全球同胞同念觀音聖號啟
觀世音菩薩，於無量劫前，久已成佛，號正法明。但以悲心無盡，慈誓莫窮，故復於十方世界，現菩薩及人天凡聖等身，以施無畏，而垂濟度。普門品所謂：應以何身得度者，即現何身而為說法，不但現有情身，即山河船筏，橋樑道路，藥草樹木，樓臺殿閣，亦隨機現，總以離苦得樂，轉危為安為事。凡遇刀兵水火，惡病惡獸，怨家對頭，惡鬼毒蛇，種種危險者，果能至誠稱念：南無觀世音菩薩，即可蒙菩薩加被，轉危為安。現在殺劫瀰漫，全球皆無安樂之處，亦無安樂之人。願中外同胞，同念觀音聖號，同以觀音救苦救難之心為心，同以觀音利人利物之事為事，則人我念空，鬥爭事息，自可同享太平，共樂天常。縱定業難轉，喪身失命，亦可仗菩薩力，往生西方，則是因宿業而殞身命，蒙佛力而出苦海也。凡我中外同胞，祈共鑒此愚誠！
* * * * * *
觀世音菩薩，誓願宏深，尋聲救苦。若遇刀兵、水火、饑饉、蟲蝗、瘟疫、旱澇、賊匪、怨家，惡獸、毒蛇、惡鬼、妖魅，怨業病、小人陷害等患難者，能發改過遷善、自利利人之心，至誠懇切念觀世音，念念無間，決定得蒙慈護，不致有何危險。倘仍存不善之心，雖能稱念，不過略種未來善根，不得現時感應。以佛菩薩，皆是成就人之善念，絕不成就人之惡念。若不發心改過遷善，妄欲以念佛菩薩名號，冀己之惡事成就者，決無感應，切勿發此顛倒之心也。念佛最要緊，是敦倫盡分，閑邪存誠，諸惡莫作，眾善奉行。存好心，說好話，行好事。力能為者，認真為之。不能為者，亦當發此善心，或勸有力者為之。或見人為，發歡喜心，出讚歎語，亦屬心口功德。若自不能為，見他人為，則生妒忌，便成奸惡小人心行，決定折福折壽，不得好結果也，宜痛戒之。切不可做假招子，沽名釣譽。此種心行，實為天地鬼神所共惡。有則改之，無則加勉。
摘錄自《一函遍復 》
念佛求生西方可兼念觀音、藥師佛嗎？
至於念佛也好，念觀音也好，何必多此一種閑計校。光以末劫苦重，觀音悲深，故每令人兼念，以期速獲慈護也。然念佛亦非無感通，而念佛亦非不可兼念觀音也。專兼均可，佛亦曾令人念，故知了無妨礙也。若念彌陀求生西方，又念藥師求生東方，則不可。彌陀、觀音，同是一事。而觀音悲深願重，故當兼念，以期速得感通也。（文鈔續編卷上復念佛居士書）觀音求生西方，亦可往生西方，但不可謂何必更念阿彌陀佛。以觀音乃阿彌陀佛之輔弼也。彌陀是主，觀音是賓。彌陀如國王，觀音如塚宰。善會其意，即可無疑。（文鈔三編卷二復丁普靜居士書）

		<description><![CDATA[※生死事大。
※吾但知念佛，無他術也。
※龍樹於龍宮誦出華嚴，而願生極樂。普賢為華嚴長子，而願生極樂。文殊與普賢同佐遮那，號華嚴三聖，而願生極樂。咸有明據，皎如日星。
※若夫聰明才辯，妄談般若，喫得肉已飽，來尋僧說禪者，魔也。愚貴安愚，吾誠自揣矣。寧為老齋公老齋婆，勿為老魔民老魔女也。
※大眾老實念佛，毋捏怪，毋壞我規矩。
※雜念是病，念佛是藥，念佛正治雜念，而不能治者，因念佛不親切也。雜念起時，即用心加工念，字字句句，精一不二，雜念自息矣。
※萬念紛飛之際，正是做工夫時節，旋收旋散，旋散旋收，久後工夫純熟，自然妄念不起。
※夫學佛者，無論莊嚴形跡，只貴真實修行。
在家居士，不必定要緇衣道巾。帶髮之人，自可常服念佛，不必定要敲樵擊鼓。好靜之人，自可寂然念佛，不必定要成群做會。怕事之人，自可閉門念佛，不必定要入寺聽經。識字之人，自可依教念佛。
※千里燒香，不如安坐家堂念佛。
供奉邪師，不如孝順父母念佛。
廣交魔友，不如獨身清淨念佛。
寄庫來生，不如現在作福念佛。
許願保禳，不如悔過自新念佛。
習學外道文書，不如一字不識念佛。
無知妄談禪理，不如老實持戒念佛。
希求妖鬼靈通，不如正信因果念佛。
※辯融大師教導蓮池大師曰：「你可守本分，不要去貪名求利，不要去攀緣，只要因果分明，一心念佛。」
※大藏經所詮者，不過戒定慧而已，念佛即是戒定慧，何必隨文逐字，閱此藏經，光陰迅速，命不堅久，願諸人以淨業為急務。
※余下劣凡夫，安分守愚，平生所務，惟是南無阿彌陀佛六字，今老矣！倘有問者？必以此答。
※妄念是病，念佛是藥，久病非片劑所能療，積妄非暫念所能除，莫管他妄念紛飛，只貴在念佛精切。
※疾病之由，多從殺生中來，故遍重放生也。
※戒殺之家。善神守護，災橫消除，壽算綿長，子孫賢孝，吉祥種種，難可具陳。若更隨力放生，加持念佛，不但增崇福德，必當隨願往生，永脫輪迴，入不退地。
※世間至重者生命，天下最慘者殺傷。
※施皆有報，事匪無徵，載在簡編，昭乎耳目。普願隨所見物，發慈悲心，捐不堅財，行方便事，或恩周多命，則大積陰功；若惠及一蟲，亦何非善事。
※諸放生者，或增福祿，或延壽算，或免急難，或起沉珂，或生天堂，或證道果，隨施獲報，皆有徵據。然作善致祥，道人之心，豈望報乎！不望報而報自至，因果必然，辭之亦不可得耳，放生者宜知之。
※心大德深，其事何驗，蓋利他者菩薩之行也，以此行門助修道業，譬如船得順風，必得速到涅槃彼岸矣。淨業三福，慈心不殺實居其一。今能不殺，又放其生，既能放生，又以法濟令生淨土，如是用心，報滿之時，九品蓮臺高步無疑，普勸世人，幸勿以我德薄人微，而不信其語也。
※普勸世人隨所見生命發慈悲心，是捐捨世財，作斯方便。
※梵網以放生為常住法。常住者，金剛身，無量壽也。
※奉告諸人，父母在堂，早勸念佛，父母亡日，課佛三年，其不能者，或一週歲，或七七日皆可也，孝子欲報劬之恩，不可不知此。
※親得離塵垢，子道方成就。
※教人放生，使彼悟生生不息之理，而得金剛無量壽之身也。

		<description><![CDATA[Still a bit early to review this year but why not. On the 1st of Jan this year, I said my aim was to 修行, what I was referring to was really 修心.
一切要從 [修心] 做起，並不是要學做學問，也不是要學練功夫，或是只執著在表相要多麼莊嚴、要背多少經書、比較念佛數量多寡、打坐多久、睡多少、吃多少、功課做多少等等有模有樣的花樣。
The first half wasn&#8217;t that great but slowly getting better. This up and down in life is usual and in a [...]]]></description>

Lookers-on see most of the game.
I once played a game on remembering music tones, the computer play the tones once and we key it in. At first it was very easy, but when it get to later stage, I start to realise I can easily remember the tones when the other person is keying [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[人身難得今已得，佛法難聞今已聞；
此身不向今生度，更向何生度此身！
一失人身，萬劫不復。《梵網經序》
得人身者，如爪上土；失人身者，如大地土。《涅槃經 》
 如果今世又空過了，不知更待何時，才能再得人身，再聞佛法。這個「了生死，出三界」千載難逢的機會，又要枉失了嗎？每思於此，就不禁使人毛骨悚然了。 摘錄自《學醫、學佛、學生死》
人身難得，六情難具，口辯難中，才聰難致，壽命難獲，明人難遭，直言難有，大心難發，經法難聞，如來難值。 摘錄自《五苦章句經》
人身難以得到，六根很難具足，口辯之才要講得合於中道也很難，辯才聰明也是難以獲得，長壽也很難，明了佛法的善知識難以遇到，直心是道場，直心所說叫直言，直言難得有。大菩提心很難發起來。大乘佛法很難以得聞，很難值遇如來出世。  摘錄自《地藏菩薩本願經講記》
經云：人身難得，佛法難聞。若非宿有因緣，佛經名字，尚不能聞，況得受持讀誦，修因證果者乎。然如來所說，實依眾生即心本具之理。於心性外，了無一法可得。但以眾生在迷，不能了知。于真如實相之中。幻生妄想執著。由茲起貪瞋癡，造殺盜淫。迷智慧以成煩惱，即常住而為生滅。經塵點劫，莫之能反。幸遇如來所說大乘顯密諸經，方知衣珠固在，佛性仍存。即彼客作賤人，原是長者真子。人天六道，不是自己住處。實報寂光，乃為本有家鄉。回思從無始來，未聞佛說。雖則具此心性，無端枉受輪迴。真堪痛哭流涕，聲震大千。心片片裂，腸寸寸斷矣。此恩此德，過彼天地父母，奚啻百千萬倍。縱粉身碎骨，曷能報答。（正）竭誠方獲實益論 -  摘錄自《印光大師文鈔菁華錄》
為了脫生死而發菩提心：我們眾生自無量劫來，在六道中輪迴生死，生了再死，死了再生，生生死死，無有了期。驢皮袋，馬皮袋，何處不鑽？刀山劍樹，餓鬼飢虛，誰敢說沒有嚐過滋味？偶一念及，不寒而慄。今生幸而得了人身，又得聞佛法，還敢不猛發大心？擇一個了生脫死最容易、最穩當的淨土法門，深信切願，一心 念佛，求生西方極樂世界。永不退轉，一生成就，乘願再來，普度眾生。摘錄自《律航法師文記—報恩》
Rare is birth as a human being. Hard is the life of mortals. Hard it is to obtain the chance to listen to the Dhamma. Rare is the appearance of the Buddhas.
The human rebirth is said to be extremely rare. The Bodhicaryāvatāra compares it to [...]]]></description>
